    Cruzbike School is open Again

    Nope not quite. .... If you want bigger than 26" wheels you need an original 26" frame which has the no suspension front fork. Our Daughter is 5' 2" and she fits the Quest 20 perfectly; shorter than then would look like the boy in the video; that's when 406 wheels would make more sense. Robert...

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    I bet my helmet mount fibre flare would do that if front mounted on the helmet. I wonder how much that would mess with my night vision.

    Cd*A testing the Giro Air Attack helmet

    I love those; the new elite ones are tiny and work about 80% as well as the classics you have in that photo.

    Cd*A testing the Giro Air Attack helmet

    Surprisingly that's not the case. I thought it would be too, but I think the air deflecting off your upper body gets it flowing up and over soon enough, never really noticed any challenge there going down hill at 25+ mph.. That is the main issue; if you head is back or you can't bring the...

    Cruzbike School is open Again

    Multiple riders for that bike on regular occasions (that's the main trainer) so I can't really down size it any more; he fits it, but just. However he grew 8 inches since October; so by July the fit will be pretty go; he's headed to well over six feet. I'll probably fab up a seat pad insert for...

    33 Miles, Uphill Both Ways?

    Now that is an abdominal workout no matter how you slice it.

    Cd*A testing the Giro Air Attack helmet

    I imagine the shape of one head comes into play. I can see it not working for some people. I added the thicker insert padding to the back of the helmet; and thinned up the one in the front and then I'm sure I'm probably wearing it rotated a bit (about ½ inch rotation) forward on my round head...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    Finish running the numbers finally Based on the tests I'll be adjusting my Indoor trainer calculated FTP down 5% when using it on the road with the stages power meter. The following isn't good science, it just a simple test and my lazy interpretation of it. Good enough for my needs for the...

    Cd*A testing the Giro Air Attack helmet

    Jim, These numbers look spot on the mark. I have a test file from about 4 weeks ago that I captured at night with little to no wind. That was on a Vendetta 2.0 and using the same helmet, my rear bag and bottle setup which is about the same size as yours as far as sitting "behind me" in the...

    Cd*A testing the Giro Air Attack helmet

    Don't know why but with its tiny vents the air attack has one of the best air flows inside the helmet that I have experienced it is shockingly cool in the heat. All the riders in these parts that wear them say the same thing when I ask them..

    Cruzbike School is open Again

    It's that time of the year again. Time to teach a new Batch of riders. George came out and braved the March weather. Got his Quest last year and never got to ride it due to a motorcycle accident. Needless to say he was itching to go this spring. Good example of how well someone 6'5" wiht long...

    Adding crazy tilt assembly... but to which frame?

    That last photo is like a fuzzy spy photo from area 51.

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    I tired that for awhile but the back scatter off the legs messed up my night vision making it harder to see; so For me I get to get the light out in front of my feet.

    Power meter for Vendetta

    Oh goodie you have one of the fun cranks where the bolt is under the arm. I was surprised to see that your dimpled holes worked correctly on that style crank exactly on the bolt used for diamond frames that is completely unexpected. Perhaps correct but.... Since you don't seem to have the same...

    Testing completed. I have the raw data now I just need to go analyze it. Files attached; if using them remember to look by "Time" not distance when graphing.
